Document Summary
A solution oriented approach to working with juvenile offenders: Joining: important in the initial stage of engagement. The clinician builds rapport with the client and indicates non-judgmental concern and respect so that a stage for cooperative work can be built. Confrontation, lectures and advice giving from parents, judges and more are not effective and often make it worse. It"s important to give the client plenty of time to answer and not rush to fill silences. Avoid close ended questions so that the workers don"t find themselves doing most of the talking. Customer: voluntarily enters therapy and willing to make changes. Complainant: initially seems motivated but their energy is focused on someone else rather than themselves. Visitor: non-voluntary who comes to therapy under duress. Through finding exceptions, information can be found on ways to solve the problem. Finding exceptions also encourages the client to take credit for the accomplishment of solving the problem sometimes.
